Artist description
Kut & Payste synthsizes sound where once there was data and adds the organic element of the human voice busting mad rhymes. They sample far and wide, deconstructing a sound down to its most basic element, manipulating the element, and creating new sounds. |
 |
Music Style
Digital beats meet organic rhymes and the sythesis of the new old school begins. |

Artist History
Kut & Payste originally teamed up in 2000 to produce tracks for local hip hop artists. They did a blitz run of clubs backing artists like EZ Lay and MC Mr Rogers before deciding to steal the mics (and the show) with their own flavor. In late 2001, the boys joined up with Shanty Studios and became the first artists to record there. Now based out off Shanty, they continue to produce artists in addition to creating their own sound. |
